WE regret that the Sun should speak of the
Missouri Republican as that powerful old
blunderbuss." Tom Hyde was the editor OF
the Republican at the time when he thrashed
Joseph Pulitzer in the streets Of st. Louis.
That was a service which entities the Republi-
can to the respect of mankind.-INew York
Star.
Honor to whom honor is due; it was
Bill Hyde who knocked Pulitzer into the
middle of the street from the sidewalk
where they CHANGED to meet. Bill Hyde
didn't thrash the Pulitzer, because the
latter did not remain for the atterpiece
after gathering himself up. That knock
down was one of the cleanest pieces Of
skill and muscle known to the city where
Tom Allen, McCoole and other scientist:
made their home. Hyde was made post
master OF ST. Louis for that days work
and Pulitzer migrated to the east, where
he found wider field for profit in pros
tituting journalism.

are merchants, bankers, lawyers anu ooc-
tors who fail to make their business
profitable for identically the same caufe
that prevents the farm from paying. Per
haps there is smaller percentage OF fail
ures among bankers than among any
other class of men, and this is due to the
fact that banks are operated on co-opera-
tive money, and the owners of that money
are careful to select men who are compe-
tent to handle money-to select men who
"know their business" THE GAZETTE
has been informed that bank will
take a mutiJated l cent stamp to
the postofice and exchange it
for perfect stamp as re-
ligiously as it will debit a depositor with
the amount of the check he draws. In all
the details of the management of banking
the same scrupulous economy is prac-
ticed. But while the banker, who is be-
rated because he is rich, applies the most
rigid methods to his business, the farm
er, who sometimes complains of others
for his misfortunes, will too often pay
hundreds of dollars for an improved i'm
plement and take no more care to pre-
serve it from the weather than if it were
impervious t. water and heat. Riding
westward from Fort Worth over rail-
road in March last one could see harvest

Somewhere floating around, THE GA

lis king, and yet the poultry product OF
the United States in 1883 was valued al
$500, 900, 900, while the cotton crop was
valued at only 1O,00O,OO0." We dc
not know how much truth there is in this
statement, but it contains q valuable
hint. An old farmer of Denton county
